Famous Poems
Sonnet 30
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

My first reaction to this poem is that i felt bad for the person who wrote this. They really missed their past and they wanted to go back. He looked in the past at all his struggles and hardships.

Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

My first reaction to the poem was that this person really knew what they were talking about, with love. It says that love never ends and that he believes in never ending love and he thinks its special and wonderful and beautiful.

D is mark and it uses the ar sound
E is shaken and it uses the a sound
D is bark and it uses the ar sound like mark
E is taken and it uses the a sound like shaken
F is cheeks and it uses the ee sound
G is come and it uses the um sound
F is weeks and it uses the ee sound like cheeks
H is doom and it uses the oo sound

XXVII.

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head,
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find

My first reaction to this poem was that i really liked this poem, this was the one i decided to memorize and i thought that this poem sounded really cool and that it was written really well. It reminded my of my dreams and it reminded me of sleeping and going to sleep.

C is wide and it uses the id sound like abide
D is see and it uses the ee sound like thee
E is sight and it uses the ight sound
